Mecway API - manipulate programatically

scudelari

Hello,

I am interested in the software but I have never used it. I wanted to know how much of the software's features are accessible through an API -say a C# api.

Thank you,

Victor

There's no complete API. But there is:

Python API for scripts run from Mecway that currently covers:

• Simple operations on nodes and elements
  
• Read data from the solution
  
• Measurement tools that integrate over elements or faces
  
• Read the current selection
  
• Solve (with no progress indication)
  
• Save
  

For complete control over the contents of a model, you can edit the .liml file, which is text-based XML format, possibly combined with running the solver using the command line parameter so it doesn't require interaction.

For Python users, there is a nice XML parser built in that makes quick work of manipulating Mecway models files.
